What the charity does

We are an autonomous self-help learning organisation run by the voluntary efforts of our members. Our members come together to share and pursue learning and related social activies, and are in their third age, the period in life when, after childhood, full-time employment and parental responsibilities, time can be found for personal interests and creativity.
